IRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Virginia Beach Fire and EMS employees were “pushed and kicked” Monday night while trying to save the life of a motorcyclist, officials say.
When firefighters arrived in the 900 block of Atlantis Drive in the Seatack community shortly before 9 p.m. “an unruly crowd gathered and rapidly grew in size and out of control, surrounding the scene…,” according to a Virginia Beach Fire Department daily briefing report obtained by WAVY-TV 10.
As firefighters tried to treat the man involved in the crash, several were “pushed and kicked” the briefing said. The victim ultimately died from his injuries on the way to the way to the hospital, according to Virginia Beach Police.
However, the report goes on to say that some from the crash scene followed an ambulance to Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and began to “jump on, kick and hit multiple EMS vehicles causing damage.”
“The emergency room was placed on a temporary lockdown as a proactive measure to ensure everyone’s safety” Sentara spokesperson Lauren Patton wrote in an email. The lockdown ended “without incident” but Patton said she wouldn’t elaborate further due to patient privacy.
Virginia Beach Fire spokesperson Art Kohn confirmed that no first responders were injured as a result of what occurred, but deferred to Virginia Beach Police regarding a potential investigation or charges.
Virginia Beach Police didn’t respond to a request for comment by deadline.
At this point, it is not known who attacked first responders and what their motive was. Friends and family of the crash victim, who has yet to be identified by police but was referred to by family as “C.J.,” didn’t provide any additional information about the incident other than to say that some family members on the scene were “extremely upset” in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
A memorial has been set up at the scene.
Max Gonano, president of Virginia Beach Professional Firefighters said the whole situation is concerning.
“If the scene is not safe, it is impossible for us to adequately do our job. And then when we can’t do our job … the public suffers and it is dangerous for them as well,” Gonano said. “I just hope it doesn’t happen again.”
It is time to go Genghis Khan on these people. It is time...
So it isn’t just cops?
Anyone wearing any uniform?
We had to have known, it would only be a matter of time before EMS and firefighters became targets.
Nah. These people aren’t on drugs. People in their right minds do this all the time.
“If the scene is not safe, it is impossible for us to adequately do our job. And then when we can’t do our job … the public suffers and it is dangerous for them as well,”
...there’s the duh statement of the year.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to topple the hood ornament.
Genghis took 11%, we need a discriminatory Thanos.
Time to arm Fire and EMS.
It might not have anything to do with the riots. Beaches throughout the South have had recurring problems with unruly crotch-rocket enthusiasts of a certain ethnicity for many years now.
Cops in New York don’t want to accompany the coroners to pick up the bodies much less investigate the crimes. The thugs and gangs rule the streets. Urban America is alien and unlivable.
Always a risk when answering a call in a bad neighborhood. But bad neighborhoods are spreading and getting badder. Soon enough something will have to give.
Time for a NIKA RIOT response.
I seriously don’t get it.
I understand cops because they arrest criminals, but fire and EMS?...
They were targeted in 1967-68 riots, so nothing really new. Same song same as the first.
No mention of race, color or creed.
"We the People" has become an impotent slogan. We keep electing pimps and whores to public office and this is what we get.
becasue it is not about the who.
It is about the system of oppression.
That is their thinking.
Nothing will fix this.
This needs to be beaten back into its lair.
